NOT SO TUBBY TUBA!!My first draft from J/Wing in'70 was to Chatham, under Cpt Pete Sumner(RIP). He kept telling me I played the bass like a euphonium much to my annoyance. I secretly arranged (well copied) Carnival of Venice with variations and practiced until acceptable. Eventually he did it again and I stood up (prearranged with our pianist) and gave it my best shot. On completion I said "No sir, that was like a euphonium". With safety in numbers, and a monster called Stanley "Bugles" Mathews on my side, he joined in the laughter. Got on fine with him then,,,, |

I remember you and Alan Ham doing a duet of Forty Fathoms where Lt Ken Sharpe introduced you and Alan as Musn Ham and Eggs. (groan) I also remember Nick Davies doing his Post Horn thing with a Parrot on it, always flying away....Booty :O) | ||||||||
| Hornblower |
Sounds more like a Terryism that one! To him, for absolutely no known reason, I was 'Theophilus Thorn' Sorry T, you're a kin w****r...  Hence the 'I survived' stickers.

Keith Boswell, Vim Irons, Trev Davies, Paddy Watters, Pinto, Len Lewrie, Doug Lithgoe, Adrian Patterson, Geoff Hill et al. I can't remember the three badge Solo clarinet player that liked a drop of the sauce.. All familiar names and characters that lot. One of my first gigs was to Dewars Distillery in Perth, can't remember sod all of that one......Booty :O) | ||||||||

[quote="bootybandy"]. I can't remember the three badge Solo clarinet player that liked a drop of the sauce.. :O)[/quote
Would that be Digger Brooks?? Or the late Jan Langley??? I CAN'T REMEMBER ONE THAT DIDN'T. 
Dewar's in Perth is not one I remember. Either I was as drunk as you or you're thinking of the Edinburgh Distillery. I think I've twigged who you are and fully understand why you wish to remain ananymous..Your secret's safe with me...NOT |
||||||||
| bootybandy |
It was definately Perth, as I bought some lemonade before we went there as I didn't like Whisky at that time. I do now though. Jan Langley, that's the man. I know he was technically a Solo Clarinet but he was safer sat on third......Booty :O) Ooo. Ricky Brown was Eb Sax player and Rocky was Bb Tenor Sax. | ||||||||

||||||||
| Aaron Aardvark |
as i said Rab.......over the years I looked out for many of you and collected some fabbo souvies. I have plenty of ammo to go around so you all should be afraid....Very afraid.

| Albert the Aardvark |
A photograph in black and white, does that mean it wasn't real?
It looks like a reunion of the village people to me. Must dash Adios for now Muchachos! |
||||||||
| RAB |
Careful Albert..Even your uncle Aaron couldn't protect you from some of the animals in that pic..One of them's so important he has FOUR Christian names and TWO surnames..I knew every one of them and not all of them were gay!!.. 
|
||||||||
| Aaron Aardvark |
Not as nice as this one Booty..... [ 
|
||||||||
| RAB |
Good heavens Aaron..
You must have quite an album from your FOSNI days.. You'll be getting Bootybandy all confused. He'll need to be "a real star" to keep up with you... 
|
||||||||
| bootybandy |
I am impressed with the vast array of photographic evidence that "Young" Aaron has.....Booty :O) | ||||||||
| bootybandy |
We used to call him Tim Smye-Ringbolt for short....Booty :O) Much easier than Timothy Felix Peter Paul Smye-Rumsby.....Booty :O) |
||||||||
| RAB |
Being his real mates we just called him Tim..It's a pity we never met mate cos I normally got on well with all the Welsh guys I served with. I spoke to Rickie Brown on the phone just now. He says HE remembers you arriving AFTER I had gone..He didn't ask me to say anything else.. |

In this PC world... shouldn't it be "Tubby (because he has a Thyroid problem and it isn't down to being a lardy pie-eater, he just has a slow metabolism is all) the Tuba" ?
Just wondered 
|
||||||||
| Aaron Aardvark |
well just call him Fat B*****d Tuba then if it makes you feel better, | ||||||||

Tubby the salad dodging Tuba

| General Melchett |
Aaron, You are very aggressive today, feel the love....... You make Simon Grinter seem polite! | ||||||||
| bootybandy |
You were definately there Rab, otherwise how would I, or even could I remember the Ham and Eggs Tuba duo. As I said previously I joined in January 1974 and left that April in lieu of Rickie. I got talked into the draft by Alan Ham as he said it would be a great draft, as he had previously served on board, and if memory serves me rightly, I believe Rickie had only just got married. I might be a little way off there, but time has faded some of the old memory cells. I suppose four months is not a particularly long time to forge any kind of friendships when you are a very young musician straight out of the box, but that first draft to FOSNI was one which I regarded as a stepping stone into the RMB. Yes I am Welsh, and we would have got on had I been a few years older. Celts do tend to have the same philosophy on life. Will look forward to more of your posts and memoirs....Booty :O) | ||||||||
| Aaron Aardvark |
NOT AGGRESSIVE  just mildly aggitated  Anyway ........ if I had someone to love I might get a feel. No one fancies us aardvarks you know.....have you seen the state of the female aardvarks yuk 
|
||||||||
| General Melchett |
Anyhoo, he's not fat - Just "big boned" apparently! So just agitato.... A horny Aardvark, how odd! Yes female Aardvarks are rather mingbats, so where does an ex mascot and chief dog end pick up the ladies then? |
||||||||
| bootybandy |
Aardvarks only meet for a fight or for sex........Aaron must have been doing a lot of fighting recently.......Booty :O) | ||||||||
| Aaron Aardvark |
we dont pick em up we just snatch them off the NAAFI floor | ||||||||
| General Melchett |
God Bless the "Sword and Wheel Club" Northolt on Friday Two-fers! Aiiii | ||||||||
| RAB |
Yes mate, and he got there in the end, even if ALL his bones aren't all that big 
|
||||||||
| Hornblower |
With a nose like that Aa Aa, I would have thought you'd have 'pick' of the crop, after all - it's a bit like Henry (or George) the hoover's and he gets loads! Oh... ...and... ...CALM DOWN! Thank you. |
||||||||
| FFoglamp |
shouldn't that read we just floor them off the NAAFI snatch !!! |
||||||||
| FFoglamp |
I'm sorry we just missed each other at Northolt. Were you there when I still did the bops in my first year as a civvie?,1990, ? I did the DJ bit from 1983-1990 (Minus 1985 FOF3) Thursdays and Sundays, 20.00 to 0 * .00 |
||||||||
| bootybandy |
There was also a Clarinet player that did some DJ work, but I think it was mostly private stuff. I'm trying to remember his name. Gottit, Doddy. He was a big mate of Fred's and Martin Dawes, but I don't think he was Mick Goss's fave guy....Booty :O) | ||||||||
| General Melchett |
Yes Ffoglamp I joined in March 1990 from CTC. So I do remember your bop nights albeit through beer goggles! | ||||||||
| Pax80 |
I remember...Felix Foglamp featuring.......
MANITOBA "live" at the Sword & Wheel I was there !!!!! Max Now that will be something to tell the grandchildren 
|
||||||||
| Aaron Aardvark |
Errr have you actually told your children you want some grandkids?? I myself am waiting to see what they look like.....I bet they will projectile vomit for England. (oops sorry America)
I bet they could projectile vomit all the way to Manitoba.

I have just discovered what Aaron does in his spare time. No wonder he is able to have his wicked way with all the nice female Aardvarks 
Have a look here: http://www.aaron-aardvark.co.uk/ |

mmmmmmmmmm.......time you checked your PM Glynn

I have also checked out the "aaron aardvark" website. Apparently, you were a big McCartney tribute musician, and have now quite magically turned into a hypnotist. Were you also a bandy, and a fleet band mascot, or this another Aa Aa? It can be quite common to have a few people of the same name, for example see the Lost oppos site, ref Tug Wilson. I knew 2 more Tug Wilsons, and it was neither of them referred to in this weeks postings. I have also found another Mark Biddlecombe who is a kung fu instructor, so best I don't upset him, oh, and 3 Wymers all called Andy, and all living together in an igloo outside Nuuk, Greenland, with their pet  s. (I've spotted a few lesbrians in my time too)
